        Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

        Standard Resistance
        Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
        A-1 (+S) - A-3 (+1) Off Below 1 Ω
        A-2 (+B) - A-3 (+1) MIST
        LO
        A-2 (+B) - A-4 (+2) HI
        A-9 (AUTO) - A-10 (E) AUTO

        If the result is not as specified, replace the windshield wiper switch assembly.
